Welcome to Beaufort County, SC:
Beaufort County is located in the lowcountry of South
Carolina and Beaufort is its county seat. It is one of the
South's fastest growing counties, primarily because of
development south of the Broad River clustered along the
U.S. Highway 278 corridor. The northern portions of the
county have also grown steadily, due in part to the strong
military presence around the city of Beaufort. As defined by
the U.S. Census Bureau, the Hilton Head Island–Beaufort
Micropolitan Statistical Area comprises Beaufort and Jasper
Counties. Beaufort County's population is over 70% urban.
The two portions of the county are physically connected via
the Broad River Bridge, which carries South Carolina Highway
170.
Nestled between Charleston, South Carolina and Savannah,
Georgia - Beaufort County is rich with history, culture and
outdoor beauty. Beaufort County is composed of hundreds of
barrier and sea islands and its warm climate, pristine
beaches, vibrant Gullah traditions and true southern
hospitality welcome visitors from all over the world
throughout the year. Beaufort County is home to the famous
Parris Island Marine Corps Recruit Depot and the
internationally known luxury resort of Hilton Head Island.
Gorgeous private islands, abundant waterways and nature
preserves embellish the landscape. Vast expanses of
marshlands and lush maritime forests create spectacular
scenic vistas and rich habitat for egrets, herons, pelicans,
dolphins and other wildlife species.
